The sky outside the house was turning the pale white of a fish’s belly, and light streamed in. Zhi Chen looked at the young girl who was staring intently at him and smiled, "What’s wrong?" "Nothing much, just that..." she blinked, "Did you just wake up, or have you been watching over here all night?" Zhi Chen was helpless; this person was truly single-minded. Once she started her Gu Refinement, she would immediately enter her own spiritual world. He evaded the question, "I’m quite curious about this." He was referring to Gu Refinement. He had never thought to understand her before, but ever since he had witnessed the seriousness and solemnity with which she refined Gu, and the weakness she exhibited after consuming the Gu Pills, it was as if something had taken root in his heart, and was gradually fermenting and beginning to change. "This thing," she said, all impish with a ’hehe’ of laughter, then she took out a handful of Gu Pills from her pocket, "Want to try some? They’re very sweet, just like sugar beans!" Dong Huiying thought he was scared, but the man suddenly said, "Actually, I’d like to give it a try." Dong Huiying was stunned. Seeing her dumbfounded look, the man laughed, a smile that was much more genuine than before, and his eyes warmed up a bit. She stammered, "But, it’s not appropriate, right? It’s fine for me to take it, but for a normal person, it might..." poison them to death! Zhi Chen laughed, as he was just teasing her, and she had taken it seriously, which was too cute. Suddenly, he did something that even he himself was surprised by; he reached out and tousled her hair. After doing so, he froze in astonishment. Dong Huiying scrunched up her face and swatted his hand away, "Why do you brothers all have this habit?" Her head wasn’t a watermelon, so why did everyone want to touch it? Zhi Chen quickly resumed his composure and deftly changed the subject, "You’ve been busy all night; don’t go out during the day. Lay down and get some sleep, rest well." "But..." But she had spent all night refining Gu, yet the quantity of the Poisonous Gu was really too small; if she wanted to refine a second Gu King, she would need many more poisonous insects, wouldn’t she? He seemed to see what was on her mind and then said, "If you need any kind of poison, you can tell me. I’ll catch them for you in the mountains during the day." "But haven’t you also not slept all night?" He smiled, "It’s no trouble for me." Staying up all night was something he was used to. Whether in the past or recently, there was always a lot weighing on his mind, a lot to do, and he only needed to sleep for about four hours to keep himself energetic all day, although there were exceptions. Usually, every once in a while, for the sake of his own health, he needed to take a proper rest; otherwise, he might not be able to hold up. Dong Huiying shook her head, "No need, that..." Although she understood that he meant well, it would be too much trouble for him. After all, their relationship wasn’t at the point where she could casually ask him to do things for her. "Alright, it’s settled," he said with a shake of his head and a smile before he pushed the door open and left. She was a bit dumbfounded. What had he decided, exactly? How could he be so domineering? He actually ignored her opinion!? Mulling it over and touching her nose, she lay in bed covered by the blanket. Well, then, she would sleep first. If anything, she could just wake up earlier and get to catching insects earlier. With this thought in mind, she closed her eyes and quickly fell into a dreamland, to meet with Duke Zhou. Meanwhile, once Liang Zhichen had stepped outside the door, he seemed lost in thought, gazing at the tips of his fingers as if the sensation lingered... Her hair was very soft...
